Managing Glads among the Roses
Comments (37)Susan, I do not grow garden glads (I find them too much work too, and the flowers are too showy, I think they compete with, rather than compliment roses), I grow Byzantine glads (g. byzantinus). They are shorter and the flowers much smaller, airier and daintier than the garden hybrids. I love them. I wish I had a problem with them spreading out of control (I wouldn't mind that), but they are not terribly aggressive... They never need staking. Masha On a blog, at the end of a post, there is a little sign that displays the number of comments (e.g. "10 comments"), click on that, and you will see everybody's comments, scroll to the end and you should see the "Post Comment" window....See More1912 a tea rose among women
Comments (7)Duchesse, Now you've gotten me to learn more. I always thought/remembered wrongly that the Mrs. Wilson who was the de facto president after Wilson was incapacitated was the Mrs. Wilson to whom he was married when first elected. I remembered his first wife had died, but thought that was significantly before his election. So now we see a Georgia connection and even more of a reason for the Atlanta Constitution to use such 'Atlanta Constitution society column gushy words' in this piece. Searching the Atlanta Constitution for info on roses has led to some descriptions of social events (with rose decorations) that are so sugary as to induce near diabetic comas in the healthiest of us. Here is a link that might be useful: Her burial (and a cemetery to check for roses)...See MoreFor the rose breeders among us
Comments (7)Potting up seedlings - that way madness lies! However, I'd have been tempted, too. I've never seen BPR seedlings in my home or cemetery garden. It's one of my favorite roses and I might have let the little foundlings grow for a bit. Malcolm, I do hope BPR works for you. I've wondered how BS resistant it will be in an eastern or southern climate....See MoreAmong My Favorite Roses . . .
Comments (7)This one always makes me smile - there's something so delightfully exuberant yet relaxed about it. Roses that shows their stamens tend to do that to me, for some reason. Love the long sepals and those happily 'ragged' blooms too. It reminds me somewhat of Scharlachglut/ Scarlet Fire/ Scarlet Glow (Kordes 1952), which I'm also very fond of, at least in habit/size and blooms varying from deep pink to red, though single of course. It looks as if it can be kept pruned down for a bushier plant or left to arch or climb. Sadly I only know both these lovely shrubs through photographs. Do you find your GdR sets decent hips in your climate?...See Morefarmerray
